the fourth finger, not because it is nearer
the heart than the others, but because on it
the ring is less liable to injury. The same
authority prefers the left handto the right.
The right hand is the emblem Of authority,
the left of submission. and the position of
the ring ON the left hand of the bride indi-
Gates her subsection to her husband. A
curious exception to the rule placing the
ring on the left hand is however, seen in
the usage of the Greek Church which puts
the rings on the right hands"
SOME SUGGESTIONS.
In many districts of Great Britain it is
believed that a marriage is not binding UNI
less ring be used, and jewelers. frequently
hire rings to peasants, to be returned after
the ceremony; while in certain parts of
Ireland there is belief that the ring must
be of gold The writer says
Blessing the ring gives il no small share
of sanctity, and old miSsals contain explicit
directions as to the manner in which this
ceremony must be carried out. In the
church service as performed i'll the villages
of England the ring is frequently placed in
the misSal, the practice being, no doubt, a
relic of the blessing once thought indispen-
sable The German peasant women con
tinue to wear the wedding ring of the first
husband even after a second marriage, and
a recent book of German travels mentions a
peasant wearing at one time the wedding
rings of four Late lamenteds.n
1t is not strange that numerous super
stitions should cluster about the ring, many
of which are too well known to require repe-
tition, and which, while not believed in this
day and generation, are still Thought of ="
when any accident befalls this symbol of
matrimony-tne wedding ring.

UNCLE SANS BARGAIN.
The Forgotten Purchase of Two West
Indian Islands.
From Scribner's Magazine.


In January, 1865, both President Lincoln
and Secretary Seward caused the desire of
this government to purchase the provinces
in the West Indies to be made known to
Denmark, and i'll May, ten months after the
proposition was received, Count Frijs COM
municated to Minister Yeaman that the
Danish government declined the American
offer of $4,000, 900, but would cede all the
provinces to the United States for $l5, 600
000 the transfer of Santa Cruz to depend
on the consent of France-the last in accord
ance with a treaty stipulation of two
hundred years standing-of two Of the
islands for $4,000, 900, providing the inhab-
itants would freely and formally consent,
by ballot, to the change of allegiance. This
proposition was met with an offer from the
United States of $500, 900 for the three
islands, which offer was declined by Den
mark and again amended by the United
States to an offer of the same sum for the
islands of st. Thomas and st. John-leaving
Santa Cruz, which is an agricultural island,
and not specially desirable as a port of the
naval station, out of the question. The two
governments differed as to the expedency
of postponing the transaction until such
time as the concurrence of the inhabitants
had been secured, and Secretary Seward,
while declining to have the stipulation
which Denmark claimed inserted IN the
treaty, instructed Mr.. Yeaman to say that
permission would be granted the inhabitants
to leave the island within two years after
the annexation if they preferred their
original allegiance; and he also inclosed a
draft of such a convention as would be
acceptable to the United States.
But Count Frijs made the consent by vote
of the islanders the sine qua non of transac-
ton. The principle of allowing Or compel
ing people to express preference in ques-
tions of this sort originated with Bonaparte,
and the exceptional practice of it was intro
duced into modern transactions by Napoleon
I'LL, when France acquired Nice and Savoy.
Prussia, by way of conciliating France,
consented, in the treaty of Gastien, that a
like provision might be resorted to in allow
ing the North Schleswigers to vote for or
against return to Danish allegiance, and
Denmark retained hopes that retrocession
of portion of Scheswig might be obtained
by an expression there of the popular will
1t became, consequently, a question of
national dignity and political import that
the King should allow an equally frank ex-
preston of his West Indian subjects before
consenting to an iITevocable disposition of
the fealty. In the light of these circum-
stances, the United States could not with
hold assent to the measure, and finally
agreed to the stipulation, adhering to the
offer of s. 800, 900 for the two islands.
